Service screens allow service properties to be configured.

A side panel of all services can be revealed by clicking the
icon on the left of the left-most "Services" title. Reclicking this
icon will hide the panel.

Enabling a Service

If the service is not online, click the power icon and
the service should come online

Disabling a Service

If the service is online, click the power icon and the
service should go offline

Setting Properties

Properties can be set by changing them in the BUI and then
clicking "APPLY". The "REVERT" button will reset the properties to their
previous state, before editing.

Viewing Service Logs

Some service screens also provide service logs. These logs can provide
information to help diagnose service issues, including:

Times when a service changed state

Error messages from the service

Look to the top right for "Properties" and "Logs", click "Logs" to
change to the log viewer. If "Logs" is not visible, the
service does not provide logs.

The log content is custom to each individual service, and subject to
change with future updates to the appliance software. The following are
example messages that are commonly used in this version of the appliance:

the log to show that this service was found to be enabled.
At 21:07:37 this service began startup, which completed at 21:13:38 -
some six minutes later. Due to the nature of NTP and
system clock adjustment, this service can take minutes to complete start up,
as shown by the log.

CLI

The CLI services section is under configuration services. The show command shows
the current state of all services:

Property names are similar to those shown in the BUI, but usually
shorter and sometimes abbreviated.

Service logs cannot currently be viewed from the CLI.
